Hildreth is back!
After an interminable hiatus, author Steven Hildreth Jr. is back in the saddle, and it's clear he hasn't missed a beat. "The Sovereigns" delivers all the action his first novel, "The First Bayonet," had, but it's obvious that Hildreth has matured as a writer and researcher during his time away from published work. All the fierce gunfights and brutal realism I've come to expect from him are there, yes, but it's the author's impeccable attention to detail and tactics, and more ...more

Steven Hildreth Jr. is back with an action blockbuster that places him in top form. In this story, Benjamin Williams has left government service and is now a truck driver. Unfortunately, after making a delivery to a hotel in Tucson, he is caught in the middle of a large-scale hostage taking. The terrorists are well-armed, well-trained, and have the hotel completely locked down. Unfortunately for the bad guys, Williams was former US Special Operations and will not abide evil in his sight.

WOW! What an incredible book by a relatively "young" author. After a recommendation by a colleague, I ordered BOTH books. And when I headed out for a medical meeting I grabbed the book "on top" THE SOVEREIGNS, not knowing it was Hildreth's second book. But the plot seems entirely plausible, and could be taken out of newspaper headlines. The main characters are well developed , believable, and in short order the reader really cares whether they live or die. The "combat" actions against the

Be a truck driver they said. Drive a load of furniture to Tuscon they said. It will be fun they said. Suffice it to say, there isn't much about driving truck in this novel. Think Die Hard on a larger scale. The references to the movie in this book are pretty appropriate. If you have read the first Ben Williams, The 1st Bayonet, you will not need any convincing to read this one as well. If not, you have two great books by this author to look forward to. Nonstop action from start to finish and you
